It was a pleasure to talk with my friend and colleague, Barry Burden, the Founding Director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As part of my summer guest hosting gig at 89.9 WORT’s “A Public Affair,” we talked about his excellent work on voter ID laws, poll workers, electoral reforms, and voting behavior and how that work relates to major changes in Wisconsin election laws. We also talked about the election season and took a few calls.

As part of my duties as guest host of “A Public Affair” on WORTI had the chance to chat with the terrific Jessie Opoien of the CapTime about Wisconsin politics. We talked about the Draft Walker movement, the 2018 gov’s race, the 2016 US Senate race, the 2016 State Assembly and State Senate contests, the redistricting lawsuit, media bias and the nuts, bolts, and economics of 21st century journalism. It was a great hour with good calls.
